LarGo! - Large-Scale Smart Grid Application Roll-Out

INTRO

Enabling Smart Grid Solutions

LarGo! supports the mass roll-out of smart grid software applications for energy and grid management. The project tackles the challenge of stable and resilient system operation in a setting where communication systems are used for both smart grid run-time operation (e.g. monitoring, controls) and ICT maintenance (i.e. application deployment & patch-ing, remote configuration).

"LarGo! aims at rolling out smart grid applications both on DSO and customer level and thus enables large-scale deployment of already developed smart grid solutions"

ABOUT

Overview of the LarGo! Project

LarGo! enables the mass roll-out of smart grid applications for grid and energy management by defining a seamless, safe and secure application deployment process for the grid and customer domain. The critical challenge of stable and resilient system operation is addressed in a setting where communication systems are used for both smart grid run-time operation, including monitoring and control, and ICT maintenance, such as application deployment and remote configuration.

To assess the large-scale effects of application deployment, system maintenance and operations, a utility-scale, but highly accurate, emulation of the required ICT systems will be developed. Potential suboptimal operational states are analysed in-depth, and appropriate measures for resilient system operation will be designed and tested. In local testbeds at the DSO (Austria) and customer (Germany) level, selected smart grid applications are deployed to demonstrate and verify the LarGo! deployment process.
